I think the proposed strategy would work just fine, but, like you
said, the bigger question is "do we have any users for docker-latest
in Fedora"?

If we don't think so then scrapping docker-latest until demand rises
is ok with me. In the end you are the one doing the work so you have
the most say in what happens.
